Drove in until the road ended, then hiked up the South Summit. We proceeded over to the Middle Summit, where we saw seven bighorn sheep. We also could see another group of animals about a mile off toward the North Summit, but they were too far away to idetify (we guessed more bighorn sheep). Great day!

Had great weather, I just got off Bunker in the morning and drove over via Manhatten, good road.
Took about 1:15 minutes to summit and 45 minutes back.
Was able to drive right to where the trail starts at 9340'.

Could get my Subaru Outback to about 9300', got confused a few times, and took about 1.75 hrs to the top.

Since I was camped at Peavine, I took the Manhattan Road across (FS014) to rte 82. The Manhattan road was recently bladed (May 2007) and you could drive an MGB down it. However, the last few miles of the route, up to 9300', are quite rough.

There was a gas station in Belmont, but I have no idea when it is open; I wouldn't depend on it.

2 years later:
I took the Pine Creek route. About 4500' elevation gain accumulated, 15 stream crossings! Lots of snow up high. Saw no signs for gas in Belmont. Pine Creek is a beautiful campground.

Came up Pine Creek trail in the fall aspens, traversed to Middle Summit, descended. I had to avoid the largest herd of bighorns I've ever seen, with numerous irritable looking rams, in the cirque below Middle Summit. Awesome day!

Duane drove his Explorer about a mile south of Jefferson Summit before we started hiking. We climbed up into the clouds and battled high winds all the way. Couldn't see a thing on the summit. On the way down we got hammered by horizontal ice pellets before finally dropping below the cloud cover. The weather was only starting to get bad.
